GELLIN HUGHES
HE/THEY
Gellin Hughes is a career coach and IT program manager who has been engaged in the corporate inclusion space for close to a decade. He has led ERGs and DEI programs at multiple Fortune 100 companies and has spoken about his experience as a nonbinary trans man in the corporate world to national and global audiences.
Gellin served in the Peace Corps in Rwanda, after which he earned an MPH in Global Epidemiology and a graduate certificate in Socio-Contextual Health Determinants from Emory University. He has worked in health education, public health consulting, software development, fintech, manufacturing IT, health analytics, and infrastructure engineering, and he currently uses learned experience from these industry pivots to help strategically undervalued talent find satisfying work.
Throughout, he has never stopped working for the inclusion of undervalued talent: he led DEI programming for an account of 500+ consultants at Deloitte, led Atlanta's chapter of a global LGBTQ+ ERG at Slalom Consulting, and currently serves on the leadership council of a trans ERG at a major streaming company. He is also a board member at large for PFLAG Atlanta.
When he's not running IT infrastructure programs or helping clients build their careers, Gellin can be found singing with the Atlanta Gay Men's Chorus. He was the first out trans person to serve on the chorus's Membership Committee, and he helped develop and stage the chorus's groundbreaking Transformation concert about the trans experience.
